How is the FM reception on this unit? I will be listening to the radio a lot.

So far, my reception has been pretty good. There are times that it is a problem from more distant stations, but for the stations I listen to, the reception has been very good.

My FM reception is good even though my unit is in the basement. I've never had any trouble with reception.

FM reception is fine. We live in an area with a lot of radio stations and sometimes you run into one station stepping on another's signal, but that's not a function of the radio. The stations we have programmed in come in perfectly clear. In my opinion you can't beat the sound or quality of this radio for the money.

Reception is great for me. AM stations will break up after sundown here in Philly, but that happens with nearly every stationary radio. FM is consistently strong - never had a proble

The is very good, personally I listen to talk radio and for the little music I hear the base is ok for the size of the radio.

FM reception is very good in the city--don't know about outlying areas. It's a little tricky to tune since not much space between bands, but still a very good little radio for the price.

The reception is outstanding. I get similar, if not better reception with my Sangean radio than with my car radio. Most of the time I don't even extend the antenna to pick up my favorite stations.

i got this radio so that i can listen to it where i live (Manasass Park, VA) because reception down there is very bad. This radio solves that problem. I can listen to my FM station with no static. I recommend it.

I have poor radio service where I live at. It has a wire antenna that plugs in the back and I do get good reception and sound!!!!

Yes! I live in NH and with my other radio's (basic cheaper tabletops, run of the mill variety) I couldn't listen to many of my favorite more distant stations unless I was in a particular room of my place, and even then it was often not worth listening to as there was too much static interfering with my listening pleasure. With the new Sangean I get all the stations I wanted and they come in GREAT! Really good sound! I am thinking of getting one for my Dad for Christmas as he listens to radio all night as do I.

I didnt add an FM antenna. I added a Terk Indoor AM antenna which improved the AM reception quite a bit. The FM reception is fine the way it is in this area.

Yes, in fact that's mostly what I use on it, the radio seems pretty good too but it's a little fuzzy, that could have to do with my antenna though. Great radio for the price.

Yes. I get all the local FM radio stations. Some are stronger than others but the FM on this unit is decent. No AM though.

I found the FM reception to be above average and, that is with a cell tower close by. I did get my radio fixed within 10 working days and was given free shipping...so very good customer service.

No drift on FM. I am in a strong FM signal area on crest of a ridge. AM station coverage in my area is very weak.

Absolutely, the sound isn't half bad. My only 'complaint ' is you cannot see what station you are tuning to.

The one good thing about this radio, is its reception. I live just outside a metropolitan area and have had no problems AM or FM.

It has been really good actually at receiving signal. I have another radio indoors at home with an external antenna, and i would say they get about the same signal indoors. For me it has had better signal pick up than a lot of the slightly older radios ive used in the past with external antennas.
